Teemu Tainio is hoping his return to full training leads to him featuring in our remaining three games of the season.It was initially feared the midfielder's campaign was over after he suffered an ankle sprain against Arsenal, but he has made a speedy recovery and, after training on Wednesday, he reported only one problem.

"I got a nose bleed, but apart from that it was okay," said the Finn. "I got a little bang on nose - I think it was a welcome back from the lads!

"It must be a first with good news about my injuries. Even I thought it was bad and we thought at first that I might be out for six weeks.

"Luckily it was just a kick and there was no fracture or bone damage. I feel fine and luckily for me I have only missed one game - now I won't miss any more!"
